I used to spend hours searching the aisles for my own school supplies when I was a kid {you can ask my mom, she’ll tell ya!}
Then I taught in the classroom for a decade.
And now I’ve homeschooled a kid from PreK and into High School.
So, to say that I have used more than my fair share of school supplies would be an understatement.
And, I’ll admit it. I just LOVE school supplies! To this day, I have a hard time passing up the Back-to-School displays every August. But, I have not needed to stop and shop those shelves in a long time for a couple of reasons.
Besides the fact that I have a surplus of homeschool supplies as it is, my High School-aged son requires very little these days {in terms of supplies that is, don’t get me started on the cost of High School books and classes!}
But, truth be told, it has been a few years since my son has needed much more than a pack of paper and these FRIXION ERASABLE RETRACTABLE COLORED PENS.
And I’m thinking that, even if you have a boatload of homeschool students that cover the entire spectrum of ages and skills, these ERASABLE PENS will become the most essential homeschool supply in your house too!
WHY?
Two simple reasons…
ONE: They’re colorful and fun!
They come in a variety of fun, VIBRANT COLORS but don’t bleed or transfer and are FULLY ERASABLE {see below.} So, you no longer need to sacrifice COLORFUL FUN for the sake of practicality! The seven pack includes what you see in the pictures above and the ten pack adds lime green, orange and a third shade of blue.
So, whether your High Schooler is editing a research paper, your Middle School kid is doing an Inductive Bible Study or your Kindergartener is working on handwriting, these colorful pens will keep everyone happy!
TWO: They really work!
My son uses these pens exclusively. He hates the sound of pencil scratching and he makes too many mistakes to use normal pens {that don’t erase} so this is seriously all he uses. He uses them for math problems, editing essays, science notebooking, Inductive Bible Study, spelling tests….every time he needs to write something for school, he uses one of these pens. And, like most typical fourteen-year-old boys, he makes a lot of mistakes and tends to be more than a wee bit messy with his handwriting. So, to say he erases a lot would be no lie. He erases ALL THE TIME and these pens REALLY WORK! They write clean and clear and they erase just as well! {And, don’t ask me how, but they leave no eraser dust all of the place. They’re kinda magical, really!}
So, there ya have it! FRIXION ERASABLE RETRACTABLE COLORED PENS by Pilot, the essential homeschool supply!
{WARNING: We have tried a handful of knock-off brands but nothing compares to FRIXION. The less expensive knock-offs run out of ink much sooner, rendering the lower price pointless.}
{BONUS: Pilot also makes FRIXION ERASABLE STICK PENS that aren’t retractable. They tend to be a little less expensive but we prefer not needing to keep track of caps all the time. But your family may prefer them!}
{BONUS BONUS: I’m participating in an awesome giveaway from Abby with 4 One More. She has these amazing Inductive Bible Studies that actually teach your kids HOW to STUDY the BIBLE! And she’s giving away TWO Inductive Bible Study Family Bundles to one winner. Your students in grades K-12 can study through the books of James, Jonah, and Nahum using the inductive method. These studies are open & go – no prior knowledge is needed! If you bought a Gospel Grab Bag this spring, you’ll recognize Abby’s amazing resources! The Gospel Grab Bag had a Psalm 1 Inductive Bible Study, which I have been saving to use this fall!}
